TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro and Toronto agreed to a new five-year contract following the team’s first American League pennant since 1993.
Toronto announced the agreement Friday, six weeks after the Blue Jays came within two outs of the title before losing Game 7 of the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
